ALP4 Poor performance
NOTESBefore analysing this customer complaint, check that there are no faults, and the
conformity (or otherwise) of the parameters and statuses, using the diagnostic
tool.
If the customer complaint is not ironed out, perform the following checks:
IMPORTANT
In the event of the engine overheating above 119˚C, the computer will voluntarily limit the fuel flow
(overheating warning light comes on from 115˚C).
–Please observe the cleanliness guidelines and safety advice.
Is the poor performance accompanied by smoke?
YES
Check:
–The conformity of the fuel used: apply test 10 Diesel fuel conformity check.
If the diesel fuel is not correct: – Replace the diesel fuel.
–Change the diesel filter.
–Bleed the low and high pressure diesel circuit.
–The conformity of the assembly of the injectors (presence and conformity of the sealing washer).
Checking procedure:
–Take a straightedge approximately 40 cm long and place it on the 4 injectors. The straightedge should rest on
the 4 injectors.
–If 1 injector protrudes, remove the injector and check that the washer is correct.
–If one injector does not touch the straightedge (clearance of more than 1 mm), remove the injector and check
that the washer is present.
–Clean the injector well and the injector, refit the injector with its correct sealing washer.
The sealing and condition of the inlet circuit: apply test 3 Turbocharged air inlet circuit check.
–The condition of the air flowmeter: apply test 4 Air flowmeter.
–The turbocharger: apply test 9 Air line at the turbocharger, then test 5 Turbocharger control solenoid valve
check and test 6 Turbocharger.
check that the turbocharging pressure follows the increase in engine speed and that the loop difference with the
turbocharging pressure is low.
Otherwise, replace the turbocharger.
NO

Check the conformity of the accelerator pedal position sensor, the brake pedal sensor, the atmospheric pressure
sensor, the exhaust gas recirculation valve and the damper valve.
–Check the consistency of the signal: of the air flowmeter, of the engine coolant temperature sensor, of the fuel
temperature sensor and of the engine speed.
Check the connections, continuity and absence of interference resistance on the air flow sensor (apply DF056 Air
flow sensor circuit, 2.def), the engine coolant temperature sensor (apply DF001 Coolant circuit, 1.def), and the
engine speed (apply DF195 Camshaft sensor/engine speed consistency, 2.def).

2.def).
–That there are no leaks on the high and low pressure diesel circuits: apply test 3 Turbocharged
air inlet circuit check.
–That the oil vapour rebreathing system is connected.
–The flow regulator (blocked/seized, apply the interpretation for command: AC011 Rail pressure
regulator).
–Check the timing setting (and the position of the high pressure pump sprocket) (see MR 364 (MEGANE II) or
370 (SCENIC II), Mechanical, 11A, Top and front of engine).
–Check the cylinder compressions (balance of the cylinder compressions with the Compression test function
on the CLIP Technic diagnostic tool).
–Measure the engine compressions using the special tool.

–If the leak is on the join of a high pressure
pipe and the component, remove the

–Check the charging circuit (see Technical Note 6014A Checking the charging circuit)
–To ensure the conformity of the engine speed signal, check:
●The wiring.
●The flywheel position and the condition of the flywheel teeth.
●The position and tightness of the engine speed sensor.
–Check the fuel flow correction from station to station: apply Test 8 Incorrect injector operation.

Supplying the injection system with fuel from an additional tank.
This operation aims to detect possible faults in the low pressure supply system of a vehicle by replacing it entirely
with an additional tank.
Mode:
–Disconnect the diesel fuel supply pipe at the fuel filter inlet and seal it with a plug.
–Connect a pipe to the fuel filter inlet and insert the other end into a clean container which is approximately 5 litres
in volume.
–Disconnect the diesel fuel return pipe at the pump return and injector leak-off junction and seal it with a plug.
–Fill the container with clean diesel fuel.
–Start the engine and let the system drain itself of its air (there must not be any air bubbles in the return pipe).
Is the customer complaint still present?
NO
Are the low pressure circuit connections in order and
in good condition?
NO
Carry out the necessary repairs.
YESIf the low pressure circuit is in order,
reconnect the various pipes making up the
low pressure circuit and repeat the fault
finding procedure in the fault finding chart
or for the fault that referred you to this test.

TEST8 Incorrect injector operation
Section A: Fuel regulation balance check for each injector (individual correction):
–In the CLIP diagnostic tool, choose the Fuel circuit subfunction.
–With the engine idling and the fuel temperature > 50˚C, display the flow correction values of each injector
(individual correction), i.e.:
–PR364 Cylinder no. 1 fuel flow correction.
–PR405 Cylinder no. 2 fuel flow correction.
–PR406 Cylinder no. 3 fuel flow correction.
–PR365 Cylinder no. 4 fuel flow correction.
A flow correction value greater than or equal to 5 mg/st absolute value can indicate an injector fault or cylinder
sealing fault.
–If this has not already been carried out, check the injector connections and wiring.
–Check the connections and wiring of the engine management computer to the injectors.
–Repair if necessary.
–Check the IMA injector codes, comparing the IMA codes on the injectors (the IMA codes must be read from left
to right) and the IMA codes read in the CLIP diagnostic tool.
–If the IMA codes are correct, continue the fault finding procedure,
–If not, change the incorrect IMA codes using command SC002 Enter injector codes (see Interpretation of
commands).
To confirm the repair, consult part B of this test.
CASE No. 1: If at least one of the values is greater than or equal to + 5 mg/st
–Check the valve clearance.
–Check the condition of the engine and the compressions (using the Clip diagnostic tool or a compression
gauge).
–If the compression test reveals a cylinder fault, carry out the necessary repairs.
–If the compression is correct, check the fitting conformity of the injector (see MR 364 (Mégane II) or 370 (Scénic
II), 13B, Diesel injection, Diesel injector: Removal - Refitting)
In particular, check that each injector has one compression washer.
Check the fuel regulation again for each injector (individual correction).
–If not, replace the injector and check for the sealing washer. Modify the IMA code using command SC002 Enter
injector codes (see Interpretation of commands).
–Apply Part B of this test to confirm the fault finding.
CASE No. 2: If at least one of the values is less than or equal to - 5 mg/st
–Check the valve clearance.
–Check the level and condition of the engine oil.
–Remove the injector with the largest correction.
–If there is diesel fuel contamination, check the condition of the cylinder concerned (cylinder, piston, valves).
Use an endoscope if possible.
–Only replace the removed injector, and modify the IMA code using command SC002 Enter injector codes
(see Interpretation of commands).
–Apply Part B of this test to confirm the fault finding.
